Showcase (formerly Fox Showcase) is an Australian premium drama cable and satellite television channel. It was initially part of the Showtime Australia channels and was managed by PMP chief executive officer Peter Rose. In 2007 Rose said Showcase "provides a real home at last for quality drama in Australia, and this list of outstanding event television is just the start". Showcase launched with the Australian TV premieres of Dexter and Australian-made series Satisfaction.
Showcase is owned and operated by Foxtel Networks, and is their flagship entertainment channel, and airs programming with no ad breaks during shows.
The showcase can be found on channel 112 on Foxtel and Optus TV.
Foxtel took over managing and producing Showcase and the other Showtime channels as of 31 October 2012, with it purchasing assets of the PMP.[2] On 9 December 2012, it was announced that Movie Network and Showtime (except Showcase) would be replaced with a new lineup of Foxtel-branded movie channels to be named Foxtel Movies[3]
